  1. To me, support or opposition of tossing the BFS on the NFA list comes down to whether or not you accept the NFA as legitimate. If you do and if we're honest with ourselves then the BFS deserves to be on it, and so does the Sig Brace. Everyone knows that both are ways to skirt around the NFA's regulation of FA and SBR by offering a very similar capability, but just different enough for someone to say "eh...maybe that's not exactly the same thing as in the law". We don't mind because it saves us paperwork and $200 and we know that the NFA regulation is kind of stupid given all the many ways to kill people without using an NFA item and we know that with training an SA can fire pretty close to an FA (or faster if your last name is Miculek). But in the end we all know what these devices like the BFS are for. If FA and SBRs are to be regulated by F-Troop, then the BFS and SigBrace should be included, and probably some other devices like trigger cranks as well. Maybe binary triggers too, but I personally don't know much about them. That's not throwing anyone under the bus because they like those things and I don't. It's simply that if the NFA is going to regulate FA and SBR and knowing that these devices are for all intents and purposes FA and SBR devices when used they way pretty much anyone who has one uses them, then they should be included in the NFA. On the flip side, if you think the NFA is an unjust law which infringes on the right of the free people to keep and bear arms, then by all means oppose adding something else to it. Unfortunately, that's pushing a rope uphill. But I'll keep pushing it anyway.
  2. I can think of a few hookerific uses for a piece of furniture shaped like that.
  3. You can "follow" each of the boards individually. Select a board and then choose the "Follow" button on the top right. You can choose "no notifications" each time so you don't get email notices when new things get posted. Repeat for each board you're interested in. Then on the "Unread Content" page you can choose "Content posted in areas I follow" under the Following filter. I don't see similar filters under the "All Activity".
  4. I'm sure the folks at Wounded Knee would disagree.
  5. Is that the mini Draco with the trimmed Saiga hand guard?
  6. One report I heard this morning was that they were able to ID the room quickly because his attack set off the smoke detector in his room. ETA: cross-post. Great minds, and all that.
  7. Or he had drums/belts.
  8. I had to Google "chicken tractor". That's a cool idea. My grandparents just opened the pen and let them loose for the day and they'd all come back at dusk
  9. Thanks, guys. I have zero experience with FA besides movies and the occasional YouTube video. On a different note, I wonder if there will be any connection between the shooter and a group like this one. It was actually my first thought this morning after I heard it was a country music concert: https://legalinsurrection.com/2017/09/redneck-revolt-leftist-militia-to-counter-white-supremacists/
  10. In the 2nd video from Dolo, the one with the profanity warning, the rate of fire sounds like it fluctuates. I don't mean between bursts when he could be changing weapons, but during the bursts. It's very noticeable in the burst that starts at the :20 mark. What would cause that? Are some full autos variable fire rate?
  11. And so it begins. A drop in the bucket overall, but still something. http://newschannel9.com/news/local/cleveland-businessman-calls-nfl-protests-unpatriotic-pulls-ads-during-games
  12. I don't disagree with their right to take a knee, or hide in the locker room, or stand on their heads eating an ice cream cone, or stomp on the flag if they want and be free of GOVERNMENT persecution. That doesn't mean I have to support them in a PRIVATE business. Yesterday was the first Titans game since they moved here that I didn't watch, which sucks because it sounds like it was a good game and the team this year is shaping up to be one of the better ones we've had for a long time, but as long as this stuff keeps up, I'll keep tuning out and making sure none of my DVR tuners are caching an NFL game and helping their ratings. I'd heard the NFL TV ratings were down about 15% this year. I'm betting that next week they'll wish they were only down 15%. As far as NCAA, I don't see that happening. The boosters would put a stop to that toot sweet, at least in the SEC. ETA: cross-post
  13. For anyone still waiting on their rebate, here's a status website with the company handling the rebates. You only need to enter your zip and last name. That's enough info for them to find your submission. Mine shows both of mine. One was filed 4/24 and I got the check some time in August IIRC. I filed another one on 7/15 and it's still in a processing status. http://www.rebateinquiryonline.com/
  14. FIFY.
  15. No. You can't make hooch with a peeler. JAB, don't hold it against him. That kind of thinking is to be expected from someone who doesn't appreciate a nice tweed hunting jacket to keep him warm AND stylish when zombies are afoot.
  16. @Ronald_55, did you ever figure out what works for you? To me, it depends a lot on what I'm carrying. For small single-stacks, I REALLY like Remora holsters with the extra mag pouch, but without the reinforced top. They work great for my Kahr PM9, Shield 9, Shield .45, and Glock G43. I can honestly forget about the PM9 when carried at the 4'oclock spot and have to squirm in my seat sometimes to remember if I have it or not. The others are just a bit larger and I can almost forget I have them when in a Remora. the extra mag pouch creates more surface area against my body to keep the whole thing from shifting. I have some w/o the mag pouch and they will move around a bit during the day. I have a Remora for my Glock G26 and while it's functional, I just don't like it. I never forget it's there. It works, but a double-stack just doesn't work well in an IWB setup for me. I had a Minotaur IWB for an XDsc .40, but got rid of it and the gun. The XD was too much weight for my tastes, but the holster worked well. If I ever decide to go back to IWB with a double stack, I'd look at that or the Crossbreed Supertucks. On the rare occasion I carry a double stack G26 or G19, I go OWB with a kydex Safariland or leather Bianchi Model 82, both with a retention system. I do that maybe a few times a year in the winter. I'm kind of a skinnier guy (but not as skinny as I used to be...working on that tactical gut) so I need a jacket to manage OWB and have any chance of concealing it. I keep thinking about one of those pocket Kydex ones from Stellar Rigs that Oh Shoot posted earlier in this thread. Snugging the extra mag under the grip like that keeps the whole thing a lot more compact than Remora's solution with the mag pouch added to the "front" of the holster. I have a Desantis Nemesis for my Ruger LCP. I like it for that gun but I never carry it. My Kahr in a Remora holster is just so stinking concealable that I've never felt the need to switch to the LCP, so it just sits around doing nothing. I tried an ankle holster once or twice and hated it. It was more obvious than an obvious thing that is not hidden. I chalk that up to my build. Bigger guys can pull them off w/o any issues.
  17. That vest says "Don't shoot! JAZZ HANDS!!!"
  18. @Johnny Rotten, great vids, but get that girl some brighter shoes. I don't think the astronauts can see them.
  19. I've been wondering about that. Seems like a big money production to shove into a side distribution channel. If that's the case, I'll probably be missing it. Not going to sit and watch TV on my phone, iPad, or PC when I have a monster TV next to it. I never have been able to get my Comcast OnDemand working with my TiVos, so there's that.
  20. Then keep your eyes open for the new "Star Trek: Discovery" that starts September 24th at 7pm on CBS (Channel 05)
  21. KahrMan's right. Channel 06 is where you'll find it. WZTV is the local FOX-TV affiliate and they air "The Orville" on Sunday nights. Like KahrMan said, it's on 06 and 1006 for the Nashville area Comcast. The difference between the two is that 06 is standard definition and 1006 is high definition. You can add High Definition to your Digital Starter if you want. I think it's about $8 or $10/month. You won't get any more channels, but you'll get almost all of them in both standard and high definition. For FOX, you'd get both 06 and 1006. They're showing the same exact thing, but if you have an HD TV, it's a huge difference in picture quality. As for FX on channel 70, that's not FOX. FX is a different network. It's owned by 21st Century Fox, but it's a different channel than FOX with different shows.
  22. Keep in mind that you only need to record the stuff coming in on your antenna. Any "cable" shows you'd getting on the streaming services so no need to DVR them. The OTA TiVo works great for antenna recording. I'm not able to cut the cord because my TV signal sucks for most broadcast stations. Even with a good 2-bay real antenna mounted in the attic. The only way for me to get a strong signal for all stations is a 4-bay (or one of the really big directionals) mounted externally and I'm not going to put that much ugly on the front of my house.
  23. Your math broke because Amazon Prime is an annual rate of $99. Or $8.25/month. Total monthly fees for Murgatroy would be about $98.25. Just a shade over half of what he was paying before.
  24. I picked up a couple of .30 cal cans of some Greek leftovers at the Anniston CMP. Glad I did because they seem to be out of it now.
